Leadership Greater Topeka | Jason Tryon

What book would you recommend and why? 
“The Lord of the Rings” by J.R.R. Tolkien. It appeals to all ages and is such an engaging tale. The more times you read it, the more depth you find. There’s a new lesson every time you read it.  

What are you grateful for? 
My family. I am lucky to have an excellent support system in this community. Without them I wouldn’t be able to do the things I do.  

What is the biggest challenge facing leaders today? 
The pace of change is so fast, and the attention spans are so small. There’s more excitement over announcing something than there is about seeing it through. Everyone loves a ribbon cutting or a photo op, but good leaders have to keep people engaged and motivated when the initial excitement has faded.
